Siege of Valenciennes (1676–1677)
1677 siege of the Franco-Dutch War
The Siege of Valenciennes, 28 February to 17 March 1677, took place during the 1672 to 1678 Franco-Dutch War. Valenciennes, then in the Spanish Netherlands, was assaulted by a French army under Luxembourg, with siege operations conducted by Vauban. Over the winter of 1676 to 1677, Valenciennes had been subjected to a tight blockade, preventing the receipt of reinforcements or supplies.
